The prevalence and mortality burden of diabetes in Mexico have increased significantly between 2006 and 2016.
Undoubtedly, the burden of morbidity and mortality attributable to diabetes represents one of the major challenges for health systems worldwide, particularly in low-income and middle-income countries.1 In Mexico, national data2 suggest that the prevalence of diagnosed diabetes has increased from 7·2% in 2006 to 9·4% in 2016, and the burden is likely to be much higher when undiagnosed cases are taken into account. The same dataset suggests that diabetes-related mortality has similarly increased over the same period.
